True, but when it got to the point it did, I am not sure she could have controlled it.....its like she chose to unleash it but couldn't control it necessarily. But I always did kind of wonder if that's what it was or if it was her intention to kill the PE teacher as well.


After the pig's blood dropped on Carrie's head, everyone started to laugh at her including the PE teacher. That's why she killed her, too.


Well in her mind. Most people actually weren't laughing. She just remembered her mother's words in her head and she started imagining the audience finding it amusing and cracking up in her head. I guess in her mind she thought everybody was against her.

Yeah, that happens with me a lot, which is why that scene resonated with me so much.

Yeah, that's the same here when I'm doing presentations in school. I always think of people cracking up or thinking bad thoughts about me. Meanwhile people are either falling asleep, scribbling in their notebooks, yawning or just watching the presentation and not caring.

I just hate being the center of attention.

The book and the 1976 film are both excellent. The book is slightly different and more destructive.

I posted a thread here a while back about whether the viewer/reader should sympathize with Carrie or the dead people at the end of the film. Somehow Stephen King makes you sympathize with Carrie even though she was ruthless in her revenge.

But what those girls did was brutal.

I cannot relate to Carrie but I sure sympathize with her.
